Description

For women who gave birth in the last five years, DELNP3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a female community health volunteer (FCHV) gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.

DELNP3_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELNP3_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELNP3_02, DELNP3_03, DELNP3_04, DELNP3_05, and DELNP3_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELNP3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

DELNP3_ALL has no comparability problems.
